Winston is a happy and well-behaved, 11-year-old, 77-pound, male Labrador/Shepherd-mix looking for a loving guardian.

Due to circumstances beyond his control, Winston lost the home that he shared with his family, a brother dog, and two young children who he lived with since he was rescued as a puppy.

He is well-trained, housebroken and loves everyone.

He is accustomed to a home with a yard, but he does perfectly fine on leashed walks. He settles down nicely in the home, crate-trained, housebroken. He also loves to play ball.

Winston is well-trained in his house manners. He doesn't get on your furniture or jump in your bed. He doesn't grab food off the counter or even beg.

He recently went to a pet blessing ceremony at a church in Chicago and got along with everyone he met!

He has lived as an indoor, much-loved and pampered dog all his life.

He is healthy senior, neutered, and up-to-date on rabies and distemper, heartworm-tested and on monthly preventative.

His adoption fee of $200 benefits the rescued pets of Friends of Petraits. If you are interested in meeting and possibly fostering or adopting Winston, please contact sheri@petraits.com for an adoption application. He is being fostered in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood.
